Macworld Awards 2009 nominee LaCie has introduced the LaCie Network Space 2.

An advanced consumer Network Attached Storage (NAS) and media server, the LaCie Network Space 2 combines the performance of a fully-featured NAS solution with a customised user interface, making it as convenient and user-friendly as a USB external hard drive insists the company.

Created exclusively for LaCie by Neil Poulton, who designs and develops best-selling, award-winning products for a variety of international clients, the unit features a sleek, mirror-polished black finish with blue LED strip on its underside, which hopefully creates an ambient glow and not an distraction.

Compatible with Mac and PC, the LaCie Network Space 2 offers 1 TB of storage and comes with a USB 2.0 host connection in the front of the device that allows users to connect a USB flash drive, external hard drive or digital camera, and import files automatically without the need of a computer.

Additionally, the unit includes iTunes server software so Mac and PCs can see and play content from the LaCie Network Space 2 directly through the iTunes interface.

The LaCie Network Space 2 has an SRP of £139 including VAT and is available from stores and online. More information can found at www.lacie.com/uk.

why no firewire? it seems silly to expect people to back up 1tb data over usb . it would take forever!

@james

It's a NAS. You back up over ethernet NOT USB. The USB port on the front is for importing data from a camera, pen drive or USB drive.

How is this different from the LaCie Big Disk Network? I'm not sure which one I should buy...

Might as well order a couple extra power supplies when you order the device itself....

oops I only scanned through the article. I've just been looking for a new HD and a lot of the drives from lacie only offer a USB connection for a 1tb drive which to me seems silly.

Version one of this machine is s-l-o-w. I hoped they've sorted it out with this one.
